Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

It's the second half of our big ranks reveal! Let's talk about Harris's initial ranks for wide receivers and quarterbacks for the 2026 fantasy football season. Who deserves to go in the first round at these less-scarce positions? How many trustable WR1s are there really, and how should that affect your positional draft strategy? How many QBs are truly worthy of reaching for, and how does that change in a superflex league? Let's go! The 2026 season is really finally officially launched! Guest: Cousin Josh.

It's NFL Draft time...and that means the Little Podcast That Could will do it's traditional LOOK BACK at the previous draft. Remember when everybody was so sure Travis Hunter was a great pick? And Kaleb Johnson owned the Steelers backfield? And Harold Fannin was just a dude who ran funny? With the benefit of seeing them play in the NFL for a year, we'll go back and *re-rank* the 2025 skill-position rookies. Plus a snarkbag filled with your wonderful emails!

Let's complete our survey of the skill-position players who'll be selected in next week's NFL Draft by breaking down the prospects at quarterback and tight end. Is Fernando Mendoza legit? Where would he fit into the QB draft class of '24? Is Kenyon Sadiq ready to become an immediate fantasy contributor at tight end? Are there other guys at these positions we need to seriously consider for our re-draft leagues? And where should they all go in a dynasty rookie draft? We'll cover all things QB and TE in the 2026 NFL Draft! Guest: Dalton Wasserman of the Preferred Walk-On Podcast.
